Lot of 15 streetcar RPO's, all on entire postcards mailed in Chicago -- five
are shown at the left. Decent variety of streets, destinations, times of
day, etc. As you can see there are some exemplary strikes, socked-on-nose,
interesting auxiliary marks etc. We suggest that a specialist could search
the lot for varieties & use any found to help document or extend date
ranges. In any event, we lack the specialized knowledge to pick them over.
So they are offered as a group for only $25.00.

13 DEC 1954 clear Khartoum backstamp on greeting card cover
to Illinois franked with three 10-pt Stack Laboratory & one 6-pt gum tapping stamps
tied by somewhat indistinct & blurry cancels from another town (if you can read the

Group of 9 QEII 1-1/2-c on
1-1/2-d postal cards: 4 mailed in 1962 from Mbabane to the US (stamps added
to make the international airmail rate); 1 airmailed to the US but no cancel
(sigh); & the other 4 unaddressed with various small denomination stamps
added and then tied by favor cancels at Mbabane. One of the mailed postal
cards has a corner crease affecting nothing; another mailed has multiple
creases affecting nothing. Ready for specialist study, because the
positioning of the overprint varies quite a bit in both the horizontal &
vertical directions. Higgins & Gage does not price these postal cards new or
used, but notes positional variations. Sold but
an example still available for scholarly
study & research as an enlarged (about 771% of original print area) & enhanced
200-dpi scan in .jpg or .tif format. $2.00
s

Group of 6 QEII 1-1/2-c
postal cards: 2 airmailed (Piggs Peak 1962 & Mbabane 1964) to the US with
stamps added to make the international airmail rate; the other 4 with
various small denomination stamps added and the favor cancelled at Piggs
Peak in 1962. The mailed Piggs Peak (shown) has 2 corner creases affecting nothing;
the other mailed Mbabane has multiple creases (possibly caused by a
disgusted postal worker who had to flip the postal card so the machine
cancel would get all the stamps). Unpriced new or used in Higgins & Gage.
Sold but an example still available for scholarly
study & research as an enlarged (about 771% of original print area) & enhanced
200-dpi scan in .jpg or .tif format. $2.00

200-dpi scan in .jpg or .tif format. $2.00

unpriced in Higgins & Gage, typical back shown middle right) all from Piggs Peak to Kansas 28 IX 62, all with

so as to show nine different high-values of the QE II decimal currency
